I cannot get quintessence to show up on the custom scenerio menu when I play. I have both the quint.bmp and the quint.exs files in my bladscen folder (I have a pc) and the quint.sav in my blades folder, but the scenerio does not show up. (and yes I did delete a bunch so it isn't a problem with too many scenrios for it to regester.

If you have too many scenarios in your bladscen folder, that may be the source of your problem. Try removing a scenario, and then try to play your scenario again. I think that may be what is wrong. Otherwise, I'm afraid I can't help you.

Right now I only have 9 scenerio's up, which is far less than capacity, it's something else.

If you're absolutely sure everything's in the correct place, maybe your download was corrupted. I guess you'll just have to try redownloading.

When I donloaded Quintessence, it seemed to be corrupted also because it didn't work. I've never tried it since. Maybe you should try downloading from a different site if it still doesn't work. :confused:

thanks it worked. :)

However I cannot cast spells except when I am in combat mode, is this normal for the scenerio?

Uh, no. What happens when you try to cast spells outside of combat mode? Is your spell list completely devoid of castable spells, or can't you even get to the spell list at all?

That's the message you get when everyone's dumbfounded, or no one has spell casting abilities.

I don't know why it would display otherwise.

Or if you've joined the Anama and you try to cast a mage spell. But then again, this is BoE, sorry.

Maybe you should reinstall the whole game. That is, if you've had similar problems with other scenarios.

Yeah, the most logical possibility is that you were either dumbfounded or out of spell points when you tried. If you're sure that's not the case, maybe Jonah did get corrupted somehow; use BoE and the character editor to make him from scratch.

Make sure you do use the sav file that came with the game - this scenario is built around it. The Readme file contains all the info you need to build this file from scratch if you need to.

Yeah I finally had to just recreate Jonah.

Now I have some questions which I am too dumb to figure out myself.

1. In the sticks/math with roman numerals puzzle can anyone give me a hint, It says to look for an approximation, but how can you do that without irrational numbers or decimals?

2. how do you win as opposed to finishing?

1. If I remember correctly, the approximation you're looking for is pi = 22/7

2. Find and kill all your harmonics, find a use for the item Joel gives you if you help him, and leave through the Culet.

thanks. Grumble grumble pi is NOT anywhere close to 22/7 grumble grumble. Sometimes more math classes gets you into trouble. Oh and do you actually get anything for solving it, I don't seem to.

The Pi question is a trick. Think about symbols you can make as an answer, not numbers or Roman numerals. You do get a reward.

Do find the harmonics. Some are obvious. Some are hidden. Look for bones.
